Glay - Blue Jean
Another Japan-related experience. I went to the Glay Expo 2004 at Universal Studios Japan, Oosaka with a friend. The day before the live we went to the expo bit, with absolutely no idea what we were going to find. It was basically Glay EVERYTHING from the moment we stepped out of the USJ train station. Merchandise, music, cosplayers everywhere. It was amazing.
After a long day we decided to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe there and after a while all these other people started filling up the restaurant, with people wanting to get in but couldn't - it turned out there was a live radio broadcast from Hard Rock, and naturally it was Glay songs only. We were a whole restaurant full of Glay fans. We voted on what songs should be played, there were games, and people just forgot about their dinner and got up and danced. Remember, this was Japan! This sort of thing should never happen! It was the strangest and most fannish and wonderful experience.
One of the hosts did the funniest Teru impression during the intro to "Stay Tuned". He was really good at it too. The other host said "Teru'd get angry if he finds out" and we all lol'd.
As for the song, Blue Jean was released when the expo started, and so it was played everywhere at USJ. It's not even a great song but I'm very fond of it.
